How do I update customer store credit programmatically

Question

I'm working with Magento ver. 1.9.1.1. and I need to update store credit balance for a customer. I know that it's possible to do it in Magento admin interface, but in my case I need to do an HTTP request to a server and actually do the same manipulations as we can do via Magento admin interface.

On the internet I found a code which allows to create a Credit Memo. Does I have to create a credit Memo to update customer store credit balance or it's not necessary?

Does someone has any idea how to do it?

I appreciate any answers. Thank you.

Try this

$balance = Mage::getModel('enterprise_customerbalance/balance')
                    ->setCustomer($customer)
                    ->setWebsiteId($websiteId)
                    ->setAmountDelta($anyNumber)
                    ->setComment($data['comment']);

$balance->save();

take more look at function customerSaveAfter() in observer of customerBalance module

Thank you very much. It works. Just setComment function does not want to work. I'll see why and will post here the fix. – Kalitine Jun 12 '13 at 08:40
I still can not make work "setComment" function. When I execute the code all works great, but I just do not have any comment for the action. Do you have any idea why? maybe it is not a good function... – Kalitine Jun 19 '13 at 02:19

I think for setComment to work you also need to declare who is updating the record which is not stated here. When I do this on the Admin side it lists the uid of who is updating plus the comment. – Greg Demetrick Jun 24 '13 at 18:32

Thank you very much Greg. Your tip really helped me. I use code from [here](http://dineshinmca.blogspot.jp/2012/10/magento-how-to-login-to-magento-admin.html) to login to magento admin before update balance and after that comment is set properly. I hope this may be useful for someone else too. – Kalitine Jul 01 '13 at 01:47
Instead of `setComment` use `setUpdatedActionAdditionalInfo` – Joshua Pack May 28 '15 at 18:54

This will work perfectly

$balance = Mage::getModel('enterprise_customerbalance/balance');
$balance->setCustomerId($customer_id)
        ->setWebsiteId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getWebsiteId())
        ->loadByCustomer();

$current_balance = $balance->getAmount();
$comment = 'This is a comment that will appear in the credit update history';

// add store credit
$balance->setAmount($current_balance);
$balance->setAmountDelta($amount_to_be_added);
$balance->setUpdatedActionAdditionalInfo($comment);
$balance->setHistoryAction(1); // 1= updated
$balance->save();
